Head of OT, IT & ISM (Information Security Management) at Renata (Swatch Group)
October 2023 - Present
Accountable for Renata's OT, IT, and ISM: keep the battery plant secure and operable while shipping ADDA, the MQTT/EMQX backbone, and the analytics stack the floor depends on — governance tied to systems that run, not slide decks.
Highlights
- Own Renata's OT, IT, and ISM end-to-end — risk posture, access models, and change discipline that hold up in audits and on the night shift; accountability stays with the role, not a vendor deck.
- Ship ADDA on HLL2 — forensic battery-defect analytics from VALTR/MQTT ingest through DuckDB warehouse to a floor investigation UI quality and production rely on under pressure.
- Design and operate the production MQTT/EMQX backbone — broker topology, OT boundary, and access so PLCs/SCADA feed analytics without flattening security or inviting downtime.
- Lead OT/IT integration and industrial IAM decisions that survive real incidents — not paper programs that never touch the plant.
- Apply IEC 62443 thinking to systems that ship — secure IIoT that respects a running factory, not parallel compliance theatre.
Platforms shipped
- ADDA — Cut defect root-cause time on HLL2 — ingest to floor UI
- MQTT / EMQX — Production IIoT path with OT isolation intact
